GCSE Media Studies Paper 2008

[needhelp]

Think about the current genre on television - ie. Reality Television - are Sitcoms becoming more like reality television, ie. with such programs like Moving Wallpaper coincsiding with Echo Beach? Are more cult sitcoms (such as The Office), wiping out the more traditional sitcoms? AQA think it's doing fine, but what do you think?

TELLL ME SUMM MORE POINTS PLEASEEEE

Do you have any other papers apart from Media Studies?

[Meanies]

but let me tell you, the coursework is bloody hard LOL.

i liked the coursework. some bits were hard but there were ways around it.

Basically putting english and ict skills into another subject.
We didn't get told out final coursework marks ;o Probs 'cos our teacher left at easter.

On task 3, making your own sitcom. I need a title for mine, I can't think of anything decent. Its about a small group of people at college who have various problems. It needs to be catchy and unique

[The Professor]

I'm really poor on making things up, but my knowledge of sitcoms is equal to that of God's knowledge of how to make a planet, so I think I'm safe. This is such a stupid exam though, 3 weeks and 3 hours is so long to prepare an answer...

[JackBuddy]

I can't believe you get a gcse for that.

[Throne Sofa]

On the message by you Jack...

This isn't the whole GCSE, it's only 50% of the gcse. So you don't really get a gcse for just that.

It's harder than it seems on the surface...

[The Professor]

Harder than it seems? I'd disagree I'd maybe accept them giving the first two questions a day in advance to get the sitcom idea thinking stage done but 3 weeks in advance and a 3 hour exam is just short of taking the piss out of the exam system

I found both the foundation and higher tier papers online (including storyboard sheets!). So, it'll be better quality in printing.

Hope it helps you all!

Few questions:

• What days are your exam on?
• Decided on your sitcom? If so, what's so good about it?!
• Oh, and, if you can, give hints and tips for others on how to answer the two knowledge questions? (task one and two)
